But they can claim, in good faith, that Soyuz is? Im afraid thats not how logic works. Either the error bars are too large to take a position, or they aren't. You can't have it both ways.


Fact remains that Soyuz has over a thousand more launches than Falcon 9 with an average success rate of 98% over all its variants. It's the single most reliable launch vehicle mankind has ever made.


A thousand more isn't very much when you consider "Soyuz" (the way you're using it) has been around since the 60s.

Falcon 9 had its first flight in... 2010.

Id personally rather ride Falcon, but to each his own I guess.
